About the adventure
THE SYSTEM City of Mist is set in a modern city where legends are real people. Heroes, tricksters, and monsters are reborn inside ordinary people, regular Joes and Janes, who gain supernatural powers connected to their legendary alter-egos. This is your City: gritty, corrupt, and rife with magic and mystery. Your City of Mist character is a one-of-a-kind combination of a myth, legend, or fairy tale, and a modern-day walk of life, like a detective, a vigilante, or a homemaker. Described using tags, your abilities, gear, and personality are completely unique and unconstrained by a fixed list of classes, powers, or attributes - unlike any other tabletop RPG! Someone is running the show in this City, and it's up to you to find out who. Hit the streets. Collect the clues. Face small-time villains and demi-gods in epic showdowns. Solve not just the case, but also your own personal mystery and the secrets at the core of this very City. THE ADVENTURE This City is going to hell. Here, ordinary people have the power of legends and no-one on the streets even knows. Everyone is hustling. Gods fight for their next paycheck while monsters control the drug trade. Why do we keep hurting ourselves? Do the stories inside us push us to kill? Or is it just our old wounds, buried out of sight and out of mind? The people who once tried to heal this City are now haunting it, drinking the misery of millions. All these wounded souls are stealing, backstabbing, killing, their pain glowing like neon in the night. That’s the way this City is. These are the Nights of Payne Town. It is a time of turmoil in the City. The police are helpless against a new wave of crime, powered by forces they neither see nor understand. Ancient legends that were scheming in the shadows for decades are now finally enacting their insidious plans, raining chaos and suffering on the streets. The only ones who can stop this mayhem are nameless individuals, anti-heroes like your crew, caught in this mess unwillingly or all too willingly... Behind it all lies a sordid truth and a malignant power that has been feeding on the misery of the City since its early days. But, even there, in the heart of darkness, there is hope... Can you find it?

About me
Hi there! I am a Games Master with nearly a decade's worth of experience and have run a number of games in D&D, SWFFG, Starfinder, Lancer, Basic Fantasy, Pokemon Tabletop United, Pathfinder 2e, Blades in the Dark, Forbidden Lands, City of Mist... quite a few. This hobby has somewhat taken over my life: be it my fortnightly game that has been running for 8 years, various one-shots and mini-campaigns, play-by-post experiments, artwork, books... I'm rather enthusiastic. I use Foundry VTT's many bells and whistles to bring life to all of these fantastic games.

Creating your character
We will handle character creation prior to the game over Discord and likely schedule a suitable time to pop everything into Foundry. The creator is incredibly intuitive and flexible - creating a legend-inspired superhero of any power you can think of effortlessly!
Every week at the same time.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You need a mic, but webcams are optional (although recommended! It adds to the atmosphere). I strongly recommend headphones and for you to turn other distractions off. Your character sheet and dice are handled over Foundry (no account needed), but I am more than happy for you to roll your own dice if you'd rather (you just need a couple of d6s!)
What Reece - Panda Beard brings to the table
I have the Foundry server ready to go with music, art, maps, NPCs, effects, and information. I use a blend of published art, Midjourney assets, and purchased modules to help give that premium feeling and experience. I will give you all a basic set of the rules and go through it with you in-game (it is very easy to get a hang of!)

Safety
How Reece - Panda Beard creates a safe table
A Session 0 is done prior to the game in a continuous text thread over Discord. That will be your opportunity to let me know if there are any explicit themes or scenarios that you wish to be omitted or avoided. Lines and Veils will be discussed there to ensure everyone is on the same page. Obviously, some things can be distressing without being noted in the Lines and Veils, and sometimes things are forgotten in the moment. In these cases, the in-VTT X-card functionality is there to give everyone a heads-up that this is uncomfortable. If you'd rather remain anonymous to other players, you may send me an X in a Discord DM to notify me. I take personal security and safety tools very seriously and will be sure to approach them with maturity and respect.
